Happy Birthday to Me!
Hello out there to all of my PA peeps!
I tried posting this morning but my computer was acting up. Anyhow today was my 57th birthday and I had a great day. Went to work (loving the job) and then met 2 friends for a bite to eat. Got texts or calls from the family and will celebrate with my mom and sisters on Sunday. For so many years I just ignored my birthday and stayed low key. My philosophy in life was to have little or no expectations so I couldn't be disappointed. That was safe for me but it also didn't permit to feel much joy in life. Today my life is different due to WLS and a lot of hard inner work. I like myself and could smile when I thought of today being "my day". It felt good and I just wanted to share that with all of my OH friends. Another aside - I can never remember it being so cool on 7/25. I am usually sweating like a pig but it almost feels autumnal out there.
Hope that you all had a good day. Maybe I'll see some of you at Barix next Saturday. Take care.
Donna
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!
Love, Beth

Belated Happy Birthday,
Thursday was also my daughter's 37th birthday. I posted a really mushy comment about it on my Facebook Timeline.
I totally understand how much easier it is to find joy in life post WLS. What' I've also found that I enjoy bringing joy to others. No matter how old my kids are, if I can, I make a birthday cake, with homemade frosting for them.
Continue find joy in your life.
Hugs,

My Mantra is that I do not determine my success by the number hanging in my closet, nor will I let the scale determine that success either. . . It is through trial and error I will continue to grow and succeed. . . Laureen
